The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is a flagship social security progra mme in India that aims to provide 100 days of guaranteed wage employment to rural households. The programme has several design features to promote gender equality, such as a one-third quota for women’s participation, equal wages for men and women, and provision of childcare facilities at worksites. But the implementation of MGNREGA varies across different regions and states, and may not always reflect the gender-sensitive principles of the programme. Based on the secondary data this study will examine the level of women employment generation in the eight states of north eastern state and to analyze the impact of MGNREGA on gender and social empowerment in northeast India, a region that is characterized by diverse ethnic groups, high poverty rates, and low human development indicators.
